False...impossible. read Matt 24 (I posted it in post # 45).
Verse 29 “Immediately after the tribulation....verse 31 will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Immediately AFTER the tribulation (not before tribulation ).
Worth a repost. Matthew 24:29-31 is a clear, unanswerable refutation of the pre-trib rapture teaching from our Lord Himself.
Full disclosure: I spent many years mindlessly adhering to the pre-trib theory largely because it was an Article of Faith for my church (Baptist), respected theologians (Walvoord, Dallas Theological Seminary), and prophecy teachers (Hal Lindsey, etc.) When I finally decided to follow the instruction of my church to "let Scripture speak for itself", I realized that the pre-trib theory was not taught in the Bible.
NOTE: this is not to deny that a rapture will occur, but Scripture indicates that it will be part of the sequence of events known as the Second Coming of Christ, the "last day," the Day of the Lord, etc.
Um, no: “ Matthew 24:29-31 is a clear, unanswerable refutation of the pre-trib rapture teaching from our Lord Himself. “ The question posed to Jesus was specific. He answered specifically regarding The END of the Age, at the end of The Great Tribulation. Take a study of the differences between the Temple Discourse found in Luke and the Olivet Discourse given that same evening, after a few asked a specific question over what Jesus brought out in the Temple Discourse.
Thanks, I don’t get how anyone can read Matt 24:29-31 and speak of a pre-trib rapture, when it states after the tribulation.
